A Different Time Management

Have you also felt there’s just so much you wanted to do, but you don’t have as much time to do them all?

For a start, how many loved ones do you have? Maybe you have a spouse, and two kids, plus your parents, a brother and a sister, perhaps two close friends? How much time will you devote on each one? If you have a career or a mission, you need to spend time on it, too. All these considered, you still have to take care of yourself.

Many seminars on time management and work-life balance had been conducted on this already. We were advised to prioritize, to do this and that. Still, we can’t seem to satisfy the desires of our heart. So how will you do it? How do you take care of each person and of each thing that matters most to you?

I’ve realized it’s not only a matter of making lists, schedules and priorities. It’s also a matter of prayer, and by prayer we mean the determination of our soul purpose and the upliftment and letting go of this to God, the omnipotent, omniscient and omni-present God who alone can do a thousand different things at the same time and who alone can arrange synchronicities that make it possible for us finite men to do infinite tasks.

Do not therefore forget where you have begun, which is with the spirit, with thought. Resist the temptation of working with the flesh alone. For how could you, who began with the spirit, suddenly forget and think that whatever it is you began with the spirit, you can accomplish with the flesh alone?
